NAC533.250. Hearings: Written testimony.

     1. When the particular facts of an application and protest indicate that many witnesses will appear at the hearing or that a considerable amount of technical testimony will be necessary, the State Engineer may require parties and witnesses to submit their testimony in written form before the hearing date.

     2. If written testimony is submitted, the witness shall also appear at the hearing to:

     (a) Affirm that his or her written testimony is true and correct and that he or she personally prepared it or directed its preparation; and

     (b) Submit to cross-examination.

     3. Written testimony will not be read into the record, but must be entered into evidence as an exhibit. The State Engineer may, however, require a witness who has submitted written testimony to summarize it at the hearing.
